This VentureOne Three Wheel Motorcycle by Venture Vehicles looks like lots of fun. I like the fact that it is fully enclosed allowing for comfortable driving in bad weather. I think small safe vehicles like this one will be very popular in the next 4 or 5 years since they will be a pleasure to drive and just sip fuel or in this case even just operate on a charge of the batteries! This T-Rex is similar but I would be soaked if I drove it in the rain… "Carver Engineering was faced with the challenge of designing a slender vehicle that would not fall over, as most slim vehicles were prone. Their solution was to make the vehicle do what two-wheeled vehicles did, tilt when cornering. However, due to the size and weight required to make the vehicle enclosed, the tilting operation could not be left to the driver’s control. Therefore, an automatic system that takes over the balance control was required in order to maintain the ideal tilting angles under all imaginable driving conditions, such as at all speeds and accelerations and during rapid emergency maneuvers, and also on slippery or slanting road surfaces. The result was DVC technology, a hydro-mechanical system that splits the steering input from the driver into a front-wheel steering angle and a tilting angle of the chassis."

I think you may be right, I didn’t notice the crooked eye when I saw it the first time but I see what you are talking about.
